Lobo was feeling jealous as I was taking photos of the other furkids today so put on a pose (and little attitude).

Happy New Year!

Welcome to 2011! I'm hoping for a fantastic year and I'm starting by being thankful for the small things - like having an internet connection that works consistently after a couple of weeks of frustrating service! I'm told things will be back to normal tomorrow. Here's hoping.

I said at the start of 2010 that I was hoping for a special year. Just goes to prove the old saying "be careful what you wish for". It was indeed special, just not in the ways I was hoping for! Which means that last year's goals are rolling over into 2011 :)

I spent the day working today, but took time out to do one of my favourite things - hang out on the beach with my two Rhodesian Ridgebacks, Dora & MatildaLily. This is us:

Pretty much a perfect way to start the new year!

Kristin Anderson Photography is set to be busier and provide even more great things for my clients and I can't wait to share it all with you!

I hope your 2011 brings you great joy, happiness, peace and pleasure. Love, Kristin

Merriest Christmas 2010!

I hope you all have an absolutely fabulous Christmas this year! May your festive season be filled with happiness, joy, love and peace.

My little furry elves love this time of year because they know they get to pose extra special just to bring you some holiday cheer!

Merry Merry Christmas &
Happy Holidays!

Worldwide Moment Photo - Exmouth, Western Australia

Today was the Worldwide Moment Photo Project so at 10:10 on 10 October 2010 GMT people all over the world took a second to grab whatever camera they had handy and snap a photo of what they were doing and seeing right at that very point in time. I did this last year, too, and it's very cool to wander through the galleries to see what others were seeing at one specific moment.

For those of us here in Western Australia 10:10 GMT was 6:10pm local time and the dogs and I were having an evening stroll on the beach along Exmouth Gulf. Dora and I had stopped for a little rest at just the right time; I wanted Tilly in the shot, too, but she was off doing doggie things of her own and wouldn't get in the frame for even a second!



The 2010 Worldwide Moment Gallery is already up and running - they will be updating for days yet, so make sure to keep popping back! My shot is now up on page four :)

Exmouth, weddings, upcoming good stuff!

May has been a busy month so for me so far and I'm loving it! The downside of having so much going on is that I've once again let the blog suffer and I haven't been out shooting for fun nearly as much as I would like to be.

I hope to have a few more Exmouth beach wedding posts up soon along with some Ningaloo Reef diving and who knows what else.

Oh, yeah, I remember what else - I'm going to have a couple of announcements and specials coming up, too!

In the meantime, my big boy kitteh Lobo and I are hanging out in the office working hard...

Exmouth wedding sneak peak - Dellas & Kalon

A super quick sneak peek at a special groomsman from today's wedding:

Beware of the Dorable...

Sometimes having a big, "tough" dog is a little embarrassing.  Some people might see my Rhodesian Ridgebacks and think "Ooo, those are big dogs.  Scary!"

Somehow even though Dora's cuddly toy of choice is a tiger shark, it just doesn't scream "I'm a vicious guard dog" to me.

In the weeds

I've been doing my own 365 Project this year where I head out and take at least one frame to share each day. (You can find them over on my personal blog, Kristin's News, if you'd like to check them out.) So far I've found this a great exercise and it's great fun to explore the simplest of things.

Like the weeds in my backyard. I find them endlessly intriguing and was gutted when I went out the back the other day to find that the gardener had been and cut them all down! Here are some of my favourites so far





And of course one with MatildaLily

Enjoy!

Lobo in the backyard

Lobo is our big lover kitty. He sleeps with us most nights, loves to curl up for a long cuddle session and is always ready with some big purrs. He can be a pretty cooperative photography subject so when I had a few moments the other day to give my new Canon 135L f2.0 lens a bit of a test run I headed out to the garden to find him. He wasn't totally in cooperative mode, but since he's just so danged cute I couldn't resist a few frames anyway!

Merry Christmas from our Family to yours!

Our kitties - Harry, Lobo & Boof - along with our puppies - MatildaLily & Dora - wanted to do something special to say MERRY CHRISTMAS to all of you so here they are in their fabulous festive hats & happy holiday faces!

We hope that you are having a most joyous celebration with your friends & family!

R.I.P. Patches aka Kitteh

I got some sad news yesterday.  The beautiful black & white kitten that popped into the dive shop in September had to be euthanized a couple of weeks ago.  He had four fused vertebrae that were causing him daily pain (and a heart murmur, and blind in one eye...poor little tuckka had multiple problems) and there was nothing that could be done to improve his quality of life. It was a heart-wrenching decision for his family.

Goodbye, Little One. No kitten was ever given as much love and cuddles from two families. You brought pure joy to all of our lives and it was a blessing to have you.
